Methods for analyzing electromigration (EM) in an integrated circuit (IC) are provided. The layout of the IC is obtained. A metal segment is selected from the layout according to a current simulation result of the IC. EM rule is kept on the metal segment when a single via is formed over and in contact with the metal segment in the layout. The EM rule is relaxed on the metal segment when two first vias are formed over and in contact with the metal segment in the layout. The two first vias have the same current direction.
